Same, doing it once out of my own curiosity to see how the corporate machine works. Not doing it again - seeing first hand how it is due to managerial incompetence more than anything else. The "reward" ratio is just not worth it: if I pull something off; managers will claim its due to their "processes" and "leadership". If I don't pull it off; managers won't promote me. No win, so... just don't take fake "deadlines" too seriously.
